Appeals

I’m graduating in a few weeks – will my re-mark request be finalised by then?
Re-marks take some time to process – it’s very unlikely that changes will be made in time for you to graduate. Once the re-mark has been finalised, and assuming you’re eligible to graduate, you can attend the next suitable graduation ceremony. If appropriate, you can visit a Student Centre and ask them to prepare a letter of completion, which you can show to potential employers.

Final grades

Mistakes

After the release of final grades, if you think there has been an administrative mistake (such as a mathematical error, or data-entry error), communicate directly with your school.

Correcting an administrative mistake is not the same as a re-mark.

Exceptional circumstances

If you can show evidence of exceptional circumstances beyond your control and if you meet all the eligibility requirements outlined in section 7.2 of the Finalisation of Grades Procedures, you can apply to have your final grade changed to ‘W’ – withdrawal without academic penalty.

Changes are only approved in very limited circumstances, and within the specified timeframes.

Most students who apply have either failed to complete a course, or have received a failing grade for a course.
